What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Visitors consistently praise the Sky Flyer Mountain Coaster for its unique speed-control feature, making it enjoyable for all ages and fear levels. The affordable price and beautiful mountain scenery are also frequently highlighted as major positives. While some wish the ride was longer, most agree it's a highly recommended, fun-filled experience.
"The ride could have been longer but it was fun for myself (Dad) and our two boys, including my youngest, getting him over his fear of coasters. They were super nice as it was dead in that we thought we were charged per ride but it was per person, even though the first rides me and my youngest rode tandem. They let us each have one more ride as my youngest, who got over his fear, decided to go solo. In essence, giving three of us a free ride, which was generous.
We talked about it for the rest of the day and can't wait to go back and ride the Mountain Coaster again. Highly recommended for affordable mild thrills."
Colin Nekritz
"Great experience for the family with adults all the way down to a 4 year old. Most of the ride is when you are being pulled to the top of the hill. The scenery on the way down and high speeds (if you so choose to) made it a thrilling experience. It’s a quick way to spend $12 but a fun time."

"A very fun mountain coaster! It was also a little cheaper than most mountain coasters we have ridden."
